Cheap?!! U mean the Remington or the case? Both of them are not sooooo cheap here
Yep , I understand the flimsy stock electric glider wing after having folded the wings twice :((, now all I am left with is folded wing of easy sailor :::( and I wasn't even trying to do any 3D. but hope to use it to fabricate some thing similar after beefing it up with some CF rods ( hey HK has some CF shapes at gr8 price and I picked one of each size and shape for future R & D).
Tell us more about the CF tape( ??), seems to me , i would be better of starting from scratch for good glider wing rather than beefing up a flimsy electric one
30-06 cheap remington 710 but I love it. The stock BOT wings will not lift a pod that size nor should anyone try with stock glider or even electric glider wings, The wings go on the bench and every square inch of every other rib is covered with CF Tape (not the cloth but the rigid stuff) 2 CF rods run just in front and just behind the main spar.
This photo is just to show packing size. I never even finished this build as it was sold to someone on RCG who will do a much better finishing job then I do. I hate showing my wings after I re-Cover them because I am horrible at it. Its the single most annoying aspect of building and I'd pay someone to do it if I could afford too.
as flimsy and annorexic as the bot wings look (and they have failed on e conversions) I thought they felt pretty solid. Still these things can't be flown like hotliners. Its not an F5J nor is it meant to be acrobatic in any way. Its build for long range FPV. I'm using Scherrer's LR UHF 5w booster, 500Mw 900Mhz with 14dbi yagi & 8 dbi Patch. My problem before switching to glider style wings was amp hrs. I had a solid Electro Stick I loved to fly FPV with but by the time I got her up, trimmed and on her way, 2.5 miles out I had to turn around to make sure I had enough juice to get back.
Oops.
James,
forget about my comment on thin legs, the white portion of the wing is/was invisible to me and I saw only brown area .. :))
I have some thing similar going on in my kitchen too and will share soon.
Hunn??
James, those wings look like cat walk models ( beautiful but seriously thin and useless for any other business ), any details that can make me/us believe that those nice legs( I mean wings) can lift any thing? thanks
